I have been trying to locate a record of my 2 x great grandmother on BMD Index without any success. I have been able to locate her older brother and sister and all 5 of her younger siblings, all were registered in Basingstoke District in Hampshire. Her name at birth was Ellen Budd and I know from her marriage and death certificate and births of siblings that she would have been born sometime I between about January 1848 and March 1850 (as she had a brother who was born in Apr 1847, and a sister whose birth was registered in Dec qtr 1850). Any help or advise anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Karen

First thing came to my mind... was twins?? just a suggestion. Good luck Babz

only one i could find in baisingstoke have you found her on the census? Ellen Budd Year of Registration: 1838 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Basingstoke County: Berkshire, Hampshire Volume: 7 Page: 47 (click to see others on page 10 years too early?

Thanks for the reply, I do not though believe that she was, as I have checked all the Budd's that have been registered in Basingstoke on possible dates including the same qtrs that siblings either side of her were registered.

Hi Jeanette Yes I have found her on 1851 to 1891 censuses and all records point to her DOB being 1849 or 1850 (she died in May 1891 aged 41). Thanks for the reply though.

Sister must be Mary 1850 brother george? what were parents names please how old did 1851 census record her as being

Hi Jess, yes that's the right family

1851 doesnt add up with that IGI Name: Mary Budd Age: 5 Mo Estimated birth year: abt 1850 Relation: Daughter Father's name: John Mother's name: Ann Gender: Female Where born: Silchester, Hampshire, England Civil parish: Silchester County/Island: Hampshire Country: England Registration district: Basingstoke Sub-registration district: Basingstoke ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 51 Household Members: Name Age Amey Buckland 63 Ann Budd 29 Ellen Budd 1 George Budd 3 Jane Budd 5 John Budd 32 Mary Budd 5 Mo

Jess, her father on her marriage certificate is John Budd, which as you have found out agrees with the 1851 census. The father is also named as John Budd on 1861 census [Source Citation: Class: RG9; Piece: 710; Folio: 53; Page: 18; GSU roll: 542688.]

I cannot find her birth on images 1849/1850 but her parents are marriage Ann Buckland 1845 Jan-Feb-Mar Basingstoke Berkshire, Hampshire John Budd 1845 Jan-Feb-Mar Basingstoke Berkshire, Hampshire

I am just tying to ad up possible brith years aged 5 month, and 'with child ' 9 months prior to that , the earliest she could have been born is 14 months prior to april 1851 which does end up jan 1850 ish...that was my reasoning - i did realise the fathers didnt match ---------------------------------------------------- who did these two belong to, again right time frame Francis Budd 1850 Jan-Feb-Mar Basingstoke Berkshire, Hampshire Harriett Batchelor Budd 1849 Oct-Nov-Dec Basingstoke Berkshire, Hampshire

Hi Jess, I bought Francis's birth certificate as I thought this may have been her (unfortunately not though as this was a boy) and Harriett I think died in infancy.

Here she is!! Name: Ellen Budd Year of Registration: 1849 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Hartley Wintney County: Hampshire Volume: 7 Page: 153 (click to see others on page) update!! the actual image says Hartley W and looking at reg districts this may be Hartley Westpall as that came under Basingstoke reg district Shirley

Hi Shirley Thanks you could be right as that is not too far from where the family lived..not sure though why only one child would have been registered in a different district, but never mind. I think think I will order it and see. Thanks again for looking....this has been driving me mad for ages

Wait!!! Marriages Jun 1849 (100%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Budd Ellen Hartley Wintney 7 153

whoops didnt realise it picked it up as a marriage. what a coincidence it being in the same area. so back to the drawing board again will pm K so she knows Shirley
